Farming and reading family

As a result, the process of Chen Jie and his team's journey to Xiangzhou City was completely useless, and He Tangchun was overjoyed.

"Please bring a letter to your second sister-in-law for me later." He Tangchun thought that since Gao E had a way to open up the road to Xiangzhou, she might have a way to deal with the bandits in Ruizhou.

"We have to wait until the joy in Xiangzhou City is cooked before we go back." Chen Jie apologized.

He Tangchun hesitated for a moment, as he felt that the matter of the bandits was very urgent.

But Gao E was just a woman, and even if the matter was urgent, she couldn't be forced to find a solution.

"Okay." He Tangchun nodded.

Between summer planting and autumn harvest, Gao E began to repair the road from Baotou Village to He County.

This is also the road between the two villages. There is no need to pay for the work, but Gao E provides meals.

She used cement to repeatedly roll and compact the road, which was slightly higher in the middle and had ditches on both sides, with space left in the ditches for planting trees.

Some places were not Gao E's land, and building roads would require occupying other people's land, so Gao E directly bought the land.

As a result, almost all the land on both sides of the road belonged to Gao E.

The road was completed before the autumn harvest. Cao Geng even came to take a look and found it was better than the official road.

Gao E finally understood why Xu Boyan asked Cao Geng to come to He County.

This man was honest but not foolish, and he really worked for the common people. However, due to some conditions, he was not tough enough in his attitude towards the gentry and landlords.

However, if the gentry and landlords bullied the people, he would show no mercy.

Generally speaking, he is regarded as an upright official in the eyes of the common people.

She always behaved in a disciplined manner, and it was usually others who caused trouble for her, so even if the matter was brought to Cao Geng, Cao Geng would still uphold justice for her.

Just like He County started to develop mulberry silkworms first, which brought huge benefits, Cao Geng has not taken any action so far.

In a blink of an eye, it is this year's Qingtan Yaji again. Today is more lively than the previous two years. It is difficult to find a room in the inns in He County, and prices have been raised one after another.

Gao E's inn was also full, but she did not raise the price, which made others mock her for not wanting to make money.

The inns and restaurants under Chen Tao's name did not raise their prices. During this period, Jin Ruyi took Jin Chao to Tanzhou City, and Chen Tao found it difficult to cope with them alone.

Fortunately, Gao E will help him deal with accidents, and he only needs to take care of daily management.

Just as the Qingtan Gathering was coming to an end, Du Weiqing announced that he would no longer hold the Qingtan Gathering, but Qingtan Academy began to offer classes and invited several gentlemen who had long intended to teach to stay.

Everyone was shocked. They thought that holding the Qingtan Elegant Gathering in Qingtan Gorge was a normal thing. Du Weiqing actually stopped holding the Qingtan Elegant Gathering when it was getting better and better every year.

They all felt very sorry, and some even suggested that he use the precious land of Qingtan Gorge to hold an elegant gathering.

For this reason, Du Weiqing rejected them one by one, but still invited them to come to the academy to give lectures if they were free.

Huo Ji decided to stay and teach, and he also supported Du Weiqing's decision to end the Qingtan Yaji.

It’s good that Qingtan Yaji has a big reputation, but being too famous is not a good thing either.

It is indeed the best choice to retire at this early stage and leave a good story in the literary world.

After the gathering ended, Jin Ruyi brought Jin Chao back, and as expected, Jin Chao won the title of Li Yuan.

Many wealthy businessmen in Qinzhou City invited Jin Ruyi to dinner, and Jin Ruyi did not refuse and introduced Qingtan Academy by the way.

"I guess after this, many people will come to the academy to study." Jin Ruyi said with a smile.

Ever since Jin Chao learned about Li Yuan, Jin Ruyi has been smiling all the time and looks younger.

"This is a good thing." Gao E nodded.

She also thought that He County was a small place and there were not many scholars, so the academy still had to rely on Qinzhou City for students.

The two were chatting when Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng arrived.

"I heard that Jin Chao won the title of Li Yuan. Congratulations." Du Weiqing congratulated.

"It's thanks to Mr. Du's good teaching." Jin Ruyi said with a smile.

"Those who can win the first prize are all geniuses. There are so many schools in Qinzhou City, but there is only one champion." Du Weiqing did not dare to take credit for it.

He did teach Jin Chao, and it was very easy to teach. It can only be said that the better the child, the easier it is to teach.

"Mr. Du, you're so kind." Jin Ruyi stepped aside. "What do you want from the boss?"

"Let's discuss publishing a collection of poems this year," Du Weiqing said directly.

"Then you guys discuss it, I'll go back first." Jin Ruyi said goodbye.

The three of them watched Jin Ruyi leave before sitting down.

"This year is the last year of Yaji, and it should also be the last year of the Yaji poetry collection. Do you have any ideas?" Du Weiqing asked directly.

He no longer dared to treat Gao E as an ordinary village woman, and had to discuss important matters with Gao E.

"The last year of the Yaji poetry collection is not the last year of the Qingtan poetry collection." Gao E said with a smile.

Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng looked at each other with some surprise.

The two of them had previously regretted not being able to publish poetry collections in the future, but now it seems that they can continue to publish poetry collections in the future.

"This year's poetry collection uses our own paper and a hard cover. Let me emphasize a few points. This is the last poetry collection of Qingtan Yaji and it will only be printed once. I will inform Qingtan Academy that classes have begun and write the names of several lecturers on it." Gao E said slowly.

In fact, even if the two of them didn't come to find her, she would go to find them.

After two years of accumulation, their poetry collection has sold very well and has gained a certain degree of popularity.

This is the last year of the book, so it can be said to be out of print. Why not just make it out of print and then promote Qingtan Academy?

Du Weiqing nodded: "We are of the same mind. Huo Ji is teaching in our academy, and there will definitely be many people coming to study."

After much hesitation, Hong Sheng finally spoke: "Although Mr. Chen didn't attend this year's Yaji, he means a lot to Yaji. Now that Yaji is publishing its last poetry collection, could you let him write a poem?"

"Okay." Gao E agreed directly, "I'll discuss it with my husband later."

When the two heard Gao E's agreement, they knew that the matter was confirmed.

The three of them discussed the details and determined the print quantity. It was almost dark and the children returned from school.

To enter Qingtan Academy, one must at least be a Tongsheng. Some of his children can go directly to Qingtan Academy.

Now that we have started recruiting students from outside, even if there is only one student, the college must continue to operate normally.

That day Gao E went to see the clam pond and caught some crabs to eat in the evening. Luo Qing'er came to find her on horseback.

"Brother Boyan is here to pick me up." Luo Qing'er dismounted and called Gao E.

Gao E heard Luo Qing'er say this and knew Xu Boyan was going back to Beijing: "If you are not in a hurry, have dinner and leave tomorrow."

"It doesn't seem urgent." Luo Qing'er said with a smile, "Do you want to send a message to Yunshuang?"

Hearing Luo Qing'er say this, Gao E calculated that Chen Jie and the others should be back by now. Could there be any more accidents?

"It's nothing." Gao E thought for a moment. "If she asks, I'll just tell her that Yun Zhou is doing fine and ask her if she wants to buy some property for Yun Zhou and set up her own household."

Luo Qing'er laughed: "Yunshuang is now the concubine of Prince Qing. Why is it that Eldest Sister is still thinking of letting her brother go out and establish his own household?"
